THE SECOND SUNDAY OF EASTER
MORNING PRAYER
APRIL 11, 2021 10:30 AM
THIS IS CHRIST’S HOUSE.
Come you who feel weak and unworthy. Come you who come often and you who have stayed
away. Come you who love Jesus, and you who wish you could. Come sinners and saints, women
and men, gay and straight, young and old. Come you who are lonely and long for friendship. Come
you who are homeless, and you who have a place to rest your heads. Come you who are citizens of
this land, and you who are not. Here you are citizens of the kingdom of God. Come join God’s
people at the feast prepared for you from the beginning of the world.
WELCOME TO ST. PETER’S EPISCOPAL PARISH!

near to you in this place.

2THE PSALM PSALM 133
Antiphon
Oh, how good and pleasant it is, *
when brethren live together in unity!
It is like fine oil upon the head *
that runs down upon the beard,
Upon the beard of Aaron, *
and runs down upon the collar of his robe.
It is like the dew of Hermon *
that falls upon the hills of Zion.
For there the LORD has ordained the blessing: *
life for evermore.
Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit: *
as it was in the beginning, is now, and will be for ever. Amen.

THE LESSONS
THE LESSON JOHN 20:19-31
When it was evening on that day, the first day of the week, and the doors of the house where the
disciples had met were locked for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood among them and said,
“Peace be with you.” After he said this, he showed them his hands and his side. Then the disciples
rejoiced when they saw the Lord. Jesus said to them again, “Peace be with you. As the Father has
sent me, so I send you.” When he had said this, he breathed on them and said to them, “Receive
the Holy Spirit. If you forgive the sins of any, they are forgiven them; if you retain the sins of any,
they are retained.”
But Thomas (who was called the Twin), one of the twelve, was not with them when Jesus came. So
the other disciples told him, “We have seen the Lord.” But he said to them, “Unless I see the mark
of the nails in his hands, and put my finger in the mark of the nails and my hand in his side, I will
not believe.”
3A week later his disciples were again in the house, and Thomas was with them. Although the doors
were shut, Jesus came and stood among them and said, “Peace be with you.” Then he said to
Thomas, “Put your finger here and see my hands. Reach out your hand and put it in my side. Do
not doubt but believe.” Thomas answered him, “My Lord and my God!” Jesus said to him, “Have
you believed because you have seen me? Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have come to
believe.”
Now Jesus did many other signs in the presence of his disciples, which are not written in this book.
But these are written so that you may come to believe that Jesus is the Messiah, the Son of God,
and that through believing you may have life in his name.

INTERLUDE
THE APOSTLES’ CREED
I believe in God, the Father almighty,
creator of heaven and earth;
I believe in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord.
He was conceived by the power of the Holy Spirit
and born of the Virgin Mary.
He suffered under Pontius Pilate,
was crucified, died, and was buried.
He descended to the dead.
On the third day he rose again.
He ascended into heaven,
and is seated at the right hand of the Father.
He will come again to judge the living and the dead.
I believe in the Holy Spirit,
the holy catholic Church,
the communion of saints,
the forgiveness of sins
the resurrection of the body,
and the life everlasting. Amen.

THE COLLECT OF THE DAY
Almighty and everlasting God, who in the Paschal mystery established the new covenant of
reconciliation: Grant that all who have been reborn into the fellowship of Christ’s Body may show

our Lord: Give us this day such blessing through our worship of you, that the week to come may
be spent in your favor; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
A COLLECT FOR PEACE
O God, the author of peace and lover of concord, to know you is eternal life and to serve you is
perfect freedom: Defend us, your humble servants, in all assaults of our enemies; that we, surely
trusting in your defense, may not fear the power of any adversaries; through the might of Jesus
Christ our Lord. Amen.
A COLLECT FOR GUIDANCE
Heavenly Father, in you we live and move and have our being: We humbly pray you so to guide
and govern us by your Holy Spirit, that in all the cares and occupations of our life we may not
forget you, but may remember that we are ever walking in your sight; through Jesus Christ our
Lord. Amen.

Hear us, O Lord of life and love.
6THE CONCLUDING COLLECT
Almighty and everlasting God, by whose Spirit the whole body of your faithful people is governed
and sanctified: Receive our supplications and prayers which we offer before you for all members of
your holy Church, that in their vocation and ministry they may truly and devoutly serve you;

dates are: May 2, May 16, May 30, and June 13.
